Application filed. March 23, 1925. Serial No. 17,670.

This invention relates to smoking sets and the like and is fully described in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the smoking set; a

Fig. 2 is an enlarged partial section on the line 22 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3- is a side elevation-of a plunger for removing the cigarette; and

Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the stem partly in section.

The embodiment illustrated comprises a base 10 having a peripheral flange 11 forming an ash receiver, this base being preferably made of glass and having a depression 12 on its lower surface so that a paper picture or advertisement 13 may be pasted thereunder if desired so that the latter may v be viewed through the transparent base 10.

A lug 14 rises from one end of the base and has an opening 15 in which is inserted a hollow cigarette holder 16 preferably of,

a heat insulating material.

An opening 17 in the rear of the lug 14 is preferably in line with the holder 16 and is adapted to receive a hollow nipple 18 to the outer end of which is secured a piece of flexible tubing 19. A thimble 20 1S securedv to the outer end of this tubing and a stem 21 removably fitted therein.

A knife 22 is hingedly mounted on the pin 23 and is adapted toswing in front of the lug 14. 'This knife is preferably weighted as shown at 24.

The operation of this device is as follows: The user lifts the knife 22 and inserts a cigarette A in the holder 16.. He then lights the outer end of the cigarette at the same time drawing on the stem 21. Owing'to thelong stem a cool smoke is assured. As the cigarette burns" down past the edge of the knife 22. the latter drops, cutting off any ash which may be clinging '7 to the cigarette outside the path of this knife. Owing to the heat resisting qualitiesof the holder 16 the heat of the very hot cigarette will not crack or injure the surrounding glass of the lug 14. It will be observed however that other materials such as metal or glass earthenware ma be used for the ash receiver if'desired, in'w 'ch case the separate holder 16 may be omitted if desired. To remove the unburnt portion of the cigarette remaining within the holder 16, the nipple 18 is removed and the plunger 25 inserted into the hole 17 the end pressing against the back of the cigarette; the knife 22 being raised so as to permit the cigarette butt to be forced out in the ash receiver.

Having the cigarette at all times extending above the ash receiver the ashes as they fall will drop into this receiver andthe danger of the cigarette dropping hot ashes upon clothing or other combustible articles and the danger of the cigarette itself being placed upon articles of furniture and the like will be overcome.

A block 26 is preferably placed upon the opposite end of the ash receiver to hold the end of a match box ina well known,manner. The lug 14 is provided with overhanging ears 14 through which pass holes (not shown) adapted to receive theplunger 25 and the stem 21. The stems 21 are made readily removable so that where more than one smoker uses the smoking set a separate stem may be used by each.

While I have shown and described but a single embodiment 'of'my invention, it is to be understood that it is capable of many modifications. Changes therefore in the construction and arrangement may be made which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as covered by the appended claims. 1 v

I claim:

1. A smoking set comprising a flat dishlike ash receiver adapted to rest upon a flat surface and having a holder at one side of said receiver adapted to hold a cigarette or the likeabove said receiver, a flexible tube for applying a draft to said cigarette, a

stem removably secured to the outer end of said flexible tube, and a lug on the side of said receiver having a hole adapted -to receive said stem. v 2. A smoking set comprising a dish-like ash receiver adapted to rest upon a flat surface and having a holder adapted to hold a cigarette in an inclined position above said receiver,.a flexible tube for applying a draft to a cigarette in said holder, and a In on the side of said receiver having a ho e adapted to receive said stem.

THEODORE BEAR.
